Chapter 23: Encountering Robbers on the Road
The mountain road in the Qinling Mountains is very narrow, and according to Wu Jia, if you want to take the trail to bypass the Qinling Mountains, you will increase the distance by at least 100 miles, and you will pass through many bandit dens, which is full of dangers.
But what can they do, can they turn over the Qinling Mountains with their bare hands?
Even if Zhaoyun had this ability, the few people under him didn't, let alone a horse.
Walking in the Qinling Mountains in summer, the weather is dry and dry, but it is hot and dry in a moment, and the drinking water is quickly drunk, and even the immeasurable and boundless who like gags on weekdays have honestly closed their mouths, saving some saliva so as not to die of thirst.
"Boss, I'm thirsty!"
Finally, unable to withstand the exposure to the sun, Wushuang dragged a crimson tongue, like a pug, and shouted out the lowest longing in his heart. In the first place, he knew that the journey was so difficult, and he shouldn't have made a fuss with his brothers!
At the beginning, the down-and-out slaughtered horses for food, and now the thirsty ones have no water to drink, what is the matter?
Invincible raised his strength and slapped the back of his fourth brother's head: "Yell, what are you yelling about?" Don't you see the boss and no water to drink? If you want water, Lao Tzu will give it to you! As long as you don't feel like it's sassy, you can drink it to hug! β
Wuliang didn't think it was a big deal, and muttered: "It's been a long time since I had water to drink, and I'm afraid you won't have a few taels of urine below, and I'm afraid it's not enough to stuff the fourth child's teeth!" β
Zhaoyun himself was thirsty, and the weather was hot, so he had already taken off his heavy clothes. Seeing that his morale was low, he hurriedly asked Wu Jia: "General Wu Jia, what other water sources are nearby?" β
"The nearest water source is the Wugong River fifty miles to the north, which is the only water source within a radius of 100 miles, but we have to wait until we cross the Taibai Mountain in front of us!"
"Oh my God! Let me die! β
Wushuang cried out in despair, lying on the ground and digging up the soil, but the land dried up, where is the water? Wushuang, who was in despair, cried out here, as if he shouted, and rain would fall from the sky.
But in the end, the sun was still shining, and there was no rain at all.
"What's howling? What the hell is this sunny day? β
Suddenly, an arrogant laugh came from the mountains and forests not far away. Wu Jia's complexion changed suddenly, and he hurriedly protected Zhaoyun behind him, shouting: "Be careful, adults! It's a bandit from Taibai Mountain! β
Not far away, a naked-bodied native walked out of the mountain, with a pockmarked face and big buckteeth, and he was not a decent person at first glance. He looked at Zhaoyun and his party and smiled, and said, "Lao Tzu was lucky, and I met a group of headless soldiers!" Seeing that you should be able to come up with a lot of valuable things like thisβhand them all over, give you water to drink, and let you go! β
When Wushuang heard that there was water, his eyes were red, and he leaned towards the mountain with his scales shaking, and muttered on his lips: "Water, water!" β
Zhaoyun didn't stop Wushuang, he looked at the thief leader coldly, he could still see the knives and guns dancing behind him, thinking that there were a lot of people under him, but because of the terrain, he couldn't see it through.
Seeing Wushuang coming in a daze, the thief leader sneered and shouted, "Little ones, take him down for me!" β
Five or six people came out of the group behind the man, and without the slightest defense, Wushuang was taken down; Invincible saw that his fourth child was captured, his eyes were red, and he shouted angrily: "Let him go!" Isn't it something that just wants to be valuable? We have! β
"Yes?" The thief leader's eyes lit up, and he grinned: "It's good to have it, take it out honestly, I won't embarrass you!" β¦β¦ Hey, those two over there, what are you looking at? Bad? How fierce are you to beat more than 50 of us? β
"More than fifty ...... Is it a lot? The anger in Zhaoyun's eyes gradually turned into mockery, "I'm afraid that there are more than fifty of you, and you can't beat me!" β
The leader of the thieves saw that he was young, but he only thought that he was young and vigorous, and he spoke wildly, and he did not care. On the contrary, it was Wu Jia, who was waiting for Zhaoyun on the side, which made him feel deeply uneasy. That kind of courage alone is not like ordinary people.
If he really fights, this guy can kill at least ten of his brothers...... No, twenty!
"You three, protect Lord Shangqing with me!" Wu Jia's eyes flickered, and he whispered in a deep voice.
"Why? Who are you! Wubian scolded, "My fourth brother is on the other side, you don't go to save him, and you order me!" β
Wu Jia suddenly burst out with a breath of anger, not angry and self-threatening, so frightened that he didn't dare to speak: "You are a hundred miles of tiger guards!" It's my own soldiers, it's my men! Whatever I command you, you must do! β
The invincible three were shocked, and they realized that their Tiger Benwei turned out to be that guy's subordinate!
The thief leader looked at the interesting scene below, his eyes narrowed, as if he was considering whether to attack while the enemy did not have a complete defensive lineup; But looking at Wu Jia, he coaxed, he still has to convince people with virtue and convince people with virtue......
"Hey, you guys!" The thief shouted, "I see that you are thirsty, and my cottage is in front, if you sincerely take refuge, the wine is indispensable to you!" β
He made a good calculation and tricked them to his own cottage, aren't the treasures all his own?
"Fart! What are you, you want me to wait for the grass! Wu Jia faced the bandits, his eyes widened angrily, as if he could squeeze out his eyeballs; With a loud shout, the mountains and forests shook, and the tiger roared and the dragon roared! The thief was beaten half to death, staggered to the ground, and shouted: "Quick, quick!" Kill them! β
The bandits looked at each other for a moment, but still waved their weapons and rushed down the mountain; On the other hand, on Zhaoyun's side, the three invincible brothers were already frightened, but Wu Jia was not in danger, but the hand holding the sword was tighter.
"There were only fifty people...... Kill thirty, and the enemy should be in chaos. β
Wu Jia was stunned for a moment, and Zhaoyun behind him muttered something?
He didn't know that after Zhaoyun walked the mountain road for a month, his martial arts had long been sparse, and it was rare to have a chance to fight, and it was too late for him to be happy!
Fifty people? Even if there are 100 people, what does it matter if there are 1,000 people? Lao Tzu will be ten thousand enemies in the future, and even you can't beat him, what kind of hero is it?
"Wu Jia, you stand back, they will be handed over to me!"
In Zhaoyun's eyes was a long-awaited battle spirit, and the scorching heat seemed to be able to burn the entire forest! Wu Jia was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Lord Shangqing must not be reckless, your lord is still on a mission, how can he die here?" Even if the lower officials fight for their lives, they have to open a bloody path for Lord Shangqing! β
For Wu Jia's loyalty, Zhaoyun was very grateful, but he still said: "General Wu Jia, I have my own way, let me come!" β
"Lord Shangqing, please stand back!" Wu Jia is not an ordinary stubbornness.
However, while they were talking, the black bandits were already rushing into the sky; Seeing such a situation, Wu Jia did not panic at all, and the sword in his hand was cut out like a whirlwind, to put it mildly, but it was powerful!
The fierce force accompanied by the intention of shattering the mountains and rivers slashed towards several people, and actually cut off the three of them directly! The three of them hadn't been able to react, and by the time they finally felt the pain in their lower bodies, they were already breathless.
"Shhh
This sword alone scared everyone behind him stupidly, and the thief saw that the situation was not good, and shouted: "He is only one person!" Don't be afraid! β
The bandits are still very united, although they are just a rabble, but they are extremely obedient to orders, and the crowd of people is shouting "woo yah", desperately rushing towards Wu Jia, Wu Jia is just one person, even if he has chopped several to death, but he has been annihilated by more and more people, pressed to the ground, unable to move.
"Shangqing...... Grown, run, sir! β
The invincible three finally reacted, and hurriedly ran towards Zhaoyun, saying, "Boss, General Wu Jia opened the way for us, let's go quickly!" β
"It's the boss, when those guys kidnap General Wu Jia, we will be next!"
"Let's go, boss, there is a saying called revenge of a gentleman...... What's going on? β
"Ten years is not too late......," Zhaoyun said coldly, but he didn't see the immeasurable nod, but said: "Ten years is indeed not too late, but what if you don't have to take revenge?" β
"Boss?"
The three of them looked at Zhaoyun puzzled, it seemed that from the first time they met, this young man's heart made them puzzled.
"They...... Messed with someone who shouldn't be messed with. β
The saber at his waist, long gone, is finally stained with blood again today......
Maybe a year ago, his heart was soft, he would have the kindness of a woman, and he would not kill these little thieves.
The mountains and rivers of Shu have sharpened his will, and this trip itself is a tempering of his character and heart! Now he will not be merciful to anyone!
A man who is a hero has great ambitions, good intentions, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth...... Heaven and earth, heaven and earth! If the heart is not strong, how can it tolerate the sky? Why Nadi?
Kill!
The thief leader saw it in the mountain bag, not only did the young man not run, but walked towards the crowd, and he couldn't laugh - it was not until this moment that the murderous aura that erupted on the young man's body made him feel palpitations, and for the first time made him feel regret.
"Leave that guy alone! Behind, back! β
With the thief's first order, more people looked at Zhaoyun, and when they saw that it was a teenager, they were disdainful, and a few people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead came forward and provoked: "Little baby, how old is it?" Is the sword holding steady? β
"Haha, I look at this face, it's smoother than my baby's......"
The man said this, and his right hand stretched out towards Zhaoyun's cheek, but in just a second, blood gushed out of his arm, and the man's right hand disappeared in an instant, replaced by a bottomless hole in blood.
Three seconds later, the terrifying screams spread in all directions, causing the wild birds in the forest to scatter and flee away from the forest.
"Ghost, ghost!"
Zhaoyun's astonishing speed seemed to them like a ghost, and in just a second, three heads flew up, blood splattered, and landed in the mud and grass, like charming red lips, luring people to the Pure Land of Bliss.
Zhaoyun's sword shuttled through the crowd like a flying ice flower, taking people's lives was really like probing for something. Even he didn't expect that after not practicing for a month, his strength would be even more refined!
Perhaps walking in the mountains and rivers is a kind of practice in itself.
The sword in his hand fell, and the thirtieth man fell heavily to the ground, and the expression on his face was still frightened and unwilling. The whole process lasted less than three minutes, and the one-sided slaughter made the bandits' side lose morale, and there was still the two captives they had just taken? Scattered into the woods.
"Mom...... Is this a man or a ghost? Hurry up and ......."
The thief head lay on the mountain bag and saw everything here clearly, and three minutes was enough for him to realize that he had provoked the least person to provoke. He prayed in his heart that Zhaoyun didn't see him, and at the same time lay on the ground and fled like a dog into the forest.
"Ding!"
A sword flew and plunged directly into the dirt in front of the thief's eyes, making a clear sound. If the thief is just one step faster, there are already two huge holes in his head.
"Where?"
The green clouds from the east blocked the scorching brilliance of the bright sun, and the thin breeze blew, stroking the sideburns next to Zhaoyun's ears, and the cold killing intent diffused in the air......
